Cris is home - and I feel rough

1 minute read time.

Cris (my partner) has finally had his gallbladder removed and looks so well, luckily I pay for private healthcare through work, so he has been pampered, but it meant that i have over done it, lifting things that would my breast nurse scream!!! lol (suitaces etc) but it needed to be done and there was no one else, but boy is my body screaming at me now, 3 days ago i started getting pain in my surgery arm, from my wrist up about 2 inches, it hurts when i extend my arm, i think it coould be mild cording, so i have upped my exercises. i also have an infection in my thumb oin my right hand, damn well hurts, its twice the size it shouild be and is throbbing, my ME kicked in about 3 days ago - so am over tired but am so lucky to be suffering with insomnia and nightmares!!!! ME is such a fab illness, your so tired you can cry but cant sleep!!!

i am back doing my reiki healing, which i know helps!!!! - and have no probs with scar or breast, its amazed me how well i have healed, feel bit of a phoney really cos feel fine, mind you start chemo on wednesday so watch this space.....
